Hi, I have a client that currently uses Forticlient for VPN and would like to use it for AV as well. They however have approx 70 developers that need the ability to add exclusions specific to them. I see this can be done in the XML files, and also in the Excluded paths on the Fortigate. However the customer does not want to centrally manage/control this for the developers, he would like them to do it directly. If they edit their XML file to exclude a directory, but then are registered to a Fortigate or EMS will this overwrite that exclusion?
